Finally, I just want to say that the concept of a "Childbirth System" is a bit odd in English, but within the story, it works because it's tied to her past trauma. It's a unique spin on the system genre. It's not about leveling up or fighting; it's about healing and creating life. That's a nice change of pace. It gives the story a maternal, hopeful theme that contrasts with the tragedy of the past life. I think it will lead to some beautiful moments later.
The whole "Koi Luck vs Yin-Yang Eyes" setup is such a clever bait-and-switch. On the surface, one sounds lucky and the other sounds creepy, but you quickly realize the Koi Luck is a death trap that drains your life force, while the Yin-Yang Eyes actually let you get stronger by eating ghosts. I love how the author plays with reader expectations this way, and it makes me want to go back and see if there were clues I missed about which artifact was actually better.
Cui Shi is such a wonderfully hateable villain. She's not smart, she's just loud and cruel. The scene where she blames Qiao Nian for the stone hitting her tooth, even though no one saw it thrown, is hilarious. And her logic that the kids should be sold to fund their father's exams is just evil. She's the kind of character you love to hate.
The cliffhanger at the end: Lu Xixiao is tracking Wen Li's IP. He found she's in Beijing. And he's the head of the Lu family. There's probably a connection to Lu Jingyuan (the little boy is also a Lu!). Maybe the little boy is Lu Xixiao's son or relative? The maze of connections is intriguing.
I'm curious about the protagonist's previous life—the one where he was a "successful person with a high literary cultivation." That detail seems important. His knowledge of history and literature probably gives him an edge in this world. I wonder if we'll see more flashbacks or references to his past life to explain his strategies.
